For
those of you traveling from the north -
Lancaster
Bypass Project is completed. It shortens the drive from Columbus
to under 1 hour!
Just Exit at Tarkiln Road, turn east, continue through the
traffic light to Horns Mill Road.
Traffic
on U.S. Route 33 has increased nearly 70 percent over the last ten
years.
This
project has created a new, twelve mile interstate lookalike highway
that bypasses Lancaster to the southwest.
Interchanges
are constructed at Coonpath Road, State Route 188, U.S. 22, and
Tarkiln Road.
This
corridor enhances mobility and safety throughout southeast Ohio
by eliminating traffic lights and intersecting roadways.
The
estimated cost for the bypass including right-of-way, engineering,
and construction costs is $158 million.
